Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

48  Monster Slaying Mastery, Starlight Splash!

"Is heaven trying to prevent the birth of an SS-grade powerhouse from the Star Clan?" Sterl recalled the backstory he learned in the dungeon, how the path to S-grade talents for the Star Clan was blocked!

It was only through his evolutionary abilities that Sterl managed to reverse this reality.

But even if it were just S-level, the arrival of an SS-level Star Race would inevitably provoke the ire of the heavens and the earth.

To prevent further damage to the Star Egg, Sterl had no choice but to face the second bolt of lightning gathering in the sky and meet it head-on.

He could recover from injuries, but the pet egg couldn't.

Boom!!

After the second flash of lightning, Sterl was once again brought to his knees,

Then, one after another, bolts of lightning struck down.

Fortunately, the power of each lightning strike did not continue to increase, and there was a minute or two interval between each.

Relying on the Star Force reserves, Sterl was able to withstand the strikes with his domain activated...

As time ticked away by the second.

he glow of the Star Egg grew even brighter...

And this barrage of heavenly lightning made countless wild beasts tremble in fear, hiding in their caves, daring not to show themselves.

When the thunder gradually dissipated, all was silent.

Only Sterl, bathed in the glow of the stars, was rapidly recovering. His battered flesh, along with threads composed of starlight, was reassembling bit by bit, akin to a deity.

Just then—

Crack, crack, crack.

With a series of crisp sounds, the dramatic Star Egg finally shattered, revealing a long-bodied dragon with a pair of wings on its back, covered in silver-white scales, with wheat-ear-like patterns on its tail and scales, fluttering its wings and gently landing beside Sterl.

It spread its wings, showering a healing glow, and looked at Sterl with a deep fondness.

"Has it finally hatched?" Sterl, looking at the majestic dragon, was thrilled. Feeling the friendly aura emitted by the dragon, he was even more delighted.

He immediately checked his pet's attribute panel.

[Starlight Dragon (SS)]

[Level: 0]

[Attributes:

Constitution: 10

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Spirit: 10]

[Talent: Power of the Stars (Abbr.)]

[Skills: Healing Starlight (Green): Scatters starlight to heal units in range. Upon reaching level 60, this skill evolves to blue quality.

Guardian's Power (Special): The Starlight Dragon can launch a guardianship against its owner, protecting them from all damage, relieving all simple states, restoring all states. After activation, the Starlight Dragon will enter the Starry Egg state and recover after 48 hours.

Starlight Splash (Blue): Passive skill, the surplus damage from all attacks that kill an enemy is converted into Starlight Splash to nearby enemies. The starlight itself can also trigger this effect. This skill evolves to purple quality when the Starlight Dragon reaches level 90.]

"Great! It's not in vain that I've been struck so many times by lightning!" Sterl was quite satisfied with his pet's attributes.

Firstly, having all attributes at 10 points even at level zero, its status as a main star granted Sterl a slight boost already.

Upon further inspection, Sterl discovered that the SS-grade Starlight Dragon gained 3 points in all attributes per level without any free attribute points. It was expected that after proper leveling, Sterl will receive a high gain

The Starlight Dragon's talent goes without saying, shared with Sterl, and its three skills are also of high quality.

Healing Starlight filled the gap of Sterl lacking a healing skill.

And with the power of Guardian's Force, Sterl found that in addition to being able to equip himself with this almost invincible buff as a pet, Starlight Dragon, Sterl can also use it on others after sharing it. However, he cannot transform into a Star Egg and will directly die, triggering the resurrection armor of the Heavenly God descending to earth.

As for the last skill, Starlight Splash, Sterl studied it and roughly understood its significance.

For instance, his Scorched Fire technique, though powerful, often resulted in overkill when used in Starfall mode, wasting output!

With the effect of Starlight Splash, however, surplus output is directly converted into starlight, which splashes over a wide area, even reaching beyond the range of the Scorched Fire technique. Moreover, the starlight can transform again after killing an enemy.

This ensures no waste of output! At the same time, it significantly increases Sterl's attack range, making monster farming incredibly fast when facing groups of enemies.

"A godly skill!" Sterl mused, giving a fair assessment.

For his current stage, where leveling up against monsters is almost instantaneous. This efficiency-boosting Starlight Splash...

Is the best of the best!

At this time, the Starlight Dragon, which had been protecting Sterl and casting healing glows, seeing its master fully recovered, excitedly hopped around.

However, its massive size caused a whirlwind of dust and shook the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"What are you doing?" Sterl complained, his mouth full of dust.

Fortunately, the Starlight Dragon quickly realized it was causing trouble for its master.

With a flash of light, it shrank rapidly, transforming into a tiny dragon, small enough to fit in Sterl's palm.

Eventually, it landed on Sterl's head, burrowing into his hair as if nesting, moving around affectionately.

"From now on, I'll call you... Starlight," Sterl said lazily, naming it offhand, as he fished the Starlight Dragon out of his hair.

Previously, its massive size had been imposing. But now reduced, Sterl found the newly-hatched pet's plump feel quite pleasant.

He became very playful and tossed the Starlight Dragon into the air, catching and throwing it alternately with his left and right hands, thoroughly enjoying himself as he tossed and caught it again and again.

The Starlight Dragon seemed to love this, chirping joyfully.

...

"Bro, are you also heading to the Death Village?"

"It's indeed a superior monster farming spot."

"How about we go together?"

"The map? Yes, there's something off with it. For some reason, the coordinates of Death Village have changed several times over the years. Only us old-timers can ensure we find it."

At this moment, Sterl still looked like a scar-faced brawny man, with Starlight hiding in his sleeve. The newborn creature seems to be very drowsy, trying to catch up on sleep.

The one who had just spoken was a blue-haired young man, inviting Sterl with great enthusiasm.

Behind the young man were four other players: an old man dressed in a robe that was clearly a priest's garb, a woman in leather armor with a good figure, who appeared to be an assassin or rogue.

The other two were an archer and a mage holding a battered and tattered staff.

The blue-haired young man, clad in heavy armor, seemed to be a tank warrior.

This was a quintessential adventure party.

After interacting with Starlight Dragon, Sterl set off again according to the map. However, despite searching for a long time, he couldn't locate Death Village.

Instead, he encountered this seemingly enthusiastic adventure party leader.

After some hesitation, he decisively nodded, "Then I'll be in your care."

"Can you tell me about Death Village? I'm here for a quest."

Sterl didn't care whether the intentions of the party members were genuine or not, as long as they could lead him to his destination.

He had already completed a detection using "Insight of the Stars."

Among the party, the strongest was the blue-haired young man, at level 45, a C-grade class.

The others were only between levels 38-42, a mix of C and D-grade classes.

Such strength is simply not worth mentioning for Sterl at the moment.

If this group harbored any ill will, Sterl could easily take them all down.

Hearing Sterl's question, the blue-haired young man was all smiles, "That's great. Having one more person means having one more source of strength."

"Everyone will be safer."

But the other four members of the team scoffed.

The woman in leather armor was particularly dissatisfied, "Is the boss being too kind-hearted again?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This is clearly a newbie player. Just don't drag us down."

She complained, and the rest of the team seemed helplessly in agreement, clearly siding with the woman's opinion.

Sterl naturally ignored this. It wasn't him who was being disdained, just his disguise. If they disdain him, so be it.

Just follow the team and that's it!

On the way, the blue-haired young man also briefly introduced the situation in Death Village.

"This map is special. As soon as someone enters, it starts spawning monsters. The longer you stay, the faster the spawn rate."

"At first, it's only two or three at a time. But later on, it could even be dozens or hundreds."

"The monsters inside are known as Plague Walkers, starting at level 35. With each wave, their strength slightly increases."

"With the several shifts in coordinates of Death Village, the spawning pattern has become more chaotic."

"So, Philip Waldo, don't stay in Death Village too long. If things look bad, run. Survival is the most important."

The blue-haired young man joked.

Sterl nodded seriously, "Thanks for the warning."

Yes, the fake name he was using was Philip Waldo! Not only killing him, but also using his name.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
